Good to know. - these people who have lots of followers don't have them from a sense of duty or doing good for humanity, they have the followers because they WANT them - for money, sex, and to get attention - most of them anyway and in some ways Barry is correct - if the "seekers" could realize the so-called gurus don't know near what the followers think they know the world would be better off I took issue with your statement that these two prove that all gurus and "enlightened" people are frauds and shysters. I disagree that extrapolating that conclusion from two random links to two random 'teachers' doesn't prove anything. And yes, those who continue to support and don't confront others when faced with evidence of wrong doing or just plain craziness is called enabling. There are usually valid reasons in the minds of the enablers for why they do this - reasons of self-servingness and need are just two of them. > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Ann <awoelflebater@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 9:37 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: A culture of PR and Spin, ending > with...uh...more PR and Spin > > > > Â > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson <mjackson74@> wrote: > > > > Thanks for posting this Barry - just goes to show all these gurus are full > > of it - not a one of them has any integrity or "enlightenment" > > I am not sure two articles "goes to show all these guru are full of it". > Those two men seem to be full of it as are thousands, maybe tens of > thousands, more who set themselves up as people who think they know better or > can teach others something due to their special access to some sort of > experience or knowledge. > > Although I am perhaps one of the least likely people I know to follow any > guru now I would hardly conclude from the article on Mr Cohen and the > prostitute serial killer that there are no learned teachers (gurus) on the > planet.
